boy diet

My stepmother drank GALLONS of coffee (and she still does, in fact I just got her a Keurig for Mother's Day and she was so happy she cried ) and she has 3 girls.

Have you tried adding in B12 to your supps? Maybe taking b12 and drinking green tea will give you the added energy you need, at least during your sway.

No, not yet. I guess I can try that next month if this month is a bust. If this month turns up in a bfp though, I guess I may be preparing for dd3

There are no magic bullets. You can get a boy drinking coffee by the ton and a girl drinking none and everything in between.

I agree with the commentor who suggested B sups and green tea. I have three girls, and drank coffee (anywhere from 1-4 cups/day). (Although it's funny that once pregnant I can't stand coffee. Don't know why, but my sister has the same symptom, and I'm waiting to see what gender her baby is). The B vitamins can really help with energy. But if nothing else, gradually decrease the coffee by a cup every week, so this week drink only 6 cups, or switch to a smaller mug. Don't try to go cold turkey! Also, I find that taking a magnesium supplement called Natural Calm helps me with headaches and coffee withdraws, so maybe it would help you too. I no longer drink coffee every day, and have switched to green tea in the morning. I still have it when we go out to breakfast, or with other people, and occasionally just because, but I don't feel like I NEED it anymore. I'm hoping that will make a difference in my sway coming up.

Also, for those who really can't do the green tea, with 3 of my 4 boys I was drinking regular black tea 4-6 times a day.

U guys think a mug of black tea with a tsp of half and half & a packet of stevia in the raw is ok? I love black tea but doctored up a bit! I'm working on this yummy organic homemade granola bar recipe.as soon as I perfect it I will post it!

Yes that is fine.
